Jenkins Groovy and Active Choices Reactive Parameter

Question

I have a perl script that return list of names taken from DB:

perl -w /tmp/testdb.pl

"Dana Ron Emily Ethan James Brandon Josef"

I want that Jenkins will show them in the Active Choices Reactive Parameter depends by the value chosen in the previous parameter

This is the groovy script I have:

    def command = "perl -w /tmp/testdb.pl"
    def proc = command.execute()
    proc.waitFor()              

    def output = proc.in.text
    List modifiedList = output.split(' ')
    return modifiedList

When trying to run the build, it shows an empty list When I run this groovy script from command line (on the same jenkins machine) it works:

[Dana, Ron, Emily, Ethan, James, Brandon, Josef]

What am I doing wrong?

In parameter configuration set return ["error"] in Fallback Script and try again to check if you get an error. Also try you script in {jenkins_url}/script — Sers

Try using:

List modifiedList = output.tokenize(' ')

Instead of:

List modifiedList = output.split(' ')
